Bangalore, May 2025: Bangalore-based sustainable lighting studio Oorjaa continues to reimagine the language of light with its newest creation—Spira. Known for its deep commitment to natural materials, handcrafting traditions, and conscious living, Oorjaa crafts every piece with care for the planet and its people. The studio has built a legacy of transforming waste and nature-derived materials like banana fiber paper, cork, quarry dust, and lantana into thoughtfully designed lighting—rooted in its mission to give back more than it takes.
Spira is a striking pendant light that echoes Oorjaa’s signature philosophy: art meets sustainability. Crafted from wild Lantana, an invasive species creatively repurposed by the brand, Spira takes the form of an organic spiral shell. Its form embraces movement and fluidity, while the inner core—crafted from banana fiber paper—diffuses a warm, soft glow that transforms any space into a cocoon of calm.
At once bold and meditative, Spira is a true representation of Oorjaa’s ethos—celebrating materiality, texture, and the soulful potential of light. Designed for those who seek meaning in beauty, the piece fits beautifully in both modern and earthy interiors. Spira is part of Oorjaa’s expanding line of sustainable lighting solutions for residential and hospitality spaces. With each creation, Oorjaa not only illuminates homes—it sheds light on the possibility of a greener design future.
About Oorjaa
Oorjaa is a Bangalore-based lighting design studio that reimagines the role of light through the lens of sustainability, craftsmanship, and material innovation.

Today, the studio has grown into a collective of over 60 artisans and designers who explore the artistic and architectural possibilities of materials like banana fiber, lokta paper, upcycled cork, quarry dust, water hyacinth, and lantana—an invasive species reimagined as a creative resource. Every Oorjaa creation tells a story of conscious design. Whether it’s a sculptural lamp for a private residence or a large-scale installation for public spaces like Bengaluru International Airport’s Terminal 2, the brand’s work blends tactile beauty with technical ingenuity. At its core, Oorjaa is about crafting with care for the future, giving form to light while honoring the cycles of the earth.
